EXCERPT:
Gov. Mikie has some more explaining to do.
The U.S. Department of Justice would like some more details on New Jersey’s voter registration debacle in which a “software error” reportedly led to some 6,600 noncitizens being added to the Garden State’s voter rolls in 2023 and 2024.
Harmeet Dhillon, assistant attorney general for the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division, is giving New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill and Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell five business days to turn over “additional information to assess New Jersey’s compliance with various federal statutes.”
The Justice Department previously requested information about New Jersey’s dirty voter rolls in a July 7 letter to Caldwell, who also serves as secretary of state and oversees its Division of Elections. Now, the stakes are suddenly significantly higher.
